Will NHS Practices Be More Pricey than Private Practices by the End of the Year & Why?

Could NHS dental practices command higher multiples than private practices by the end of the year? 🦷 Phil and Anil from Dental Elite discuss the changing relationship between NHS and private goodwill, particularly among larger practices attracting interest from micro-consolidators and corporate groups. After a period in which mixed and private practices generally achieved higher multiples, NHS practices are becoming increasingly attractive again. Softer recruitment challenges, improved contract delivery, NHS reform and competitive funding are all helping to strengthen buyer confidence. We discuss: ✅ Why NHS multiples were previously suppressed ✅ How recruitment challenges affected NHS valuations ✅ Why buyers are returning to NHS practices ✅ The importance of consistently delivering NHS contracts ✅ How the wider dental team can support NHS contract delivery ✅ The opportunity to develop private income ✅ Why large NHS patient bases appeal to groups ✅ How competitive bank funding is supporting acquisitions ✅ Why deal structure matters alongside the headline multiple ✅ Whether NHS goodwill could overtake private goodwill 💡 Perfect for: Dental practice owners considering a sale, NHS and mixed practice owners, prospective buyers, and anyone wanting to understand how goodwill values and buyer demand are changing across the dental market. 📞 Considering selling your dental practice?
